The Dark Knight Returns Part I & Part II Deluxe Oct 8

[Gone2HiDef]

I just got home from watching the West Coast screening tonight at the Paley Center, along with about 50 Batman fans, media and the leads, Peter Weller, Ariel Winter and David Selby and the usual DCU suspects (Timm, Romano, director, writer).

I'll just right to it. We loved it!!

To be honest, I didn't think it would be any good from the clips I'd seen online. But now I think it's simply because I didn't see it in context with the entire film, which is paced just right and the character design, which can bug me sometimes, was really impressive.

The panel discussion afterwards was entertaining. I didn't realize Selby was on the original Dark Shadows or that Weller was a professor or that Ariel won an Emmy last night. Folks who asked questions got autographed stuff, I think either the Blu-ray or a large poster. I never got asked, damnit!

So to Best Buy tomorrow for me!
